We are delighted to introduce this superb enrichment booklet designed speciﬁcally with our Junior School girls in mind. Our amazing, resourceful teachers have been looking for material to inspire the girls’ learning further, giving the girls ample opportunity to be inquisiꢀve, creaꢀve and indulge their intellectual curiosity. These resources can be used to extend the work they do in lessons or to develop new and further

interests.
